1976 AMC Pacer

The Pacer was the most modern car design that AMC ever put on the road. It was produced from 1975 to 1980. It had rack and pinion steering and a cross flow radiator. It also had larger doors which allowed more room for the passenger to get in and out easily. The Pacer also had the best new car introduction in AMC history. They had to increase production several times to keep up with the demand. The Pacer was built with the consumer in mind, it wasn't just another car pumped out of production lines to be offered for sale. The passenger door was intentionally made 4 inches longer than the driver door to encourage passengers to enter the car curbside.

The AMC Pacer offered here for sale comes with a big file of receipts and also a file of Pacer Club newsletters. It has had lots of little things replaced over the years according to the stack of receipts such as water pump, spark plugs, radiator hoses, muffler and exhaust components, shocks, struts, AC condenser and compressor, U joints, various oil changes and much more. It is evident by all the receipts and files that this unique little car was well cared for and loved.

This Pacer features a 258 CID 6 cylinder overhead valve engine capable of 120 horsepower. It is mated to an automatic transmission. The engine runs smoothly and the transmission shifts as it should. It also features AC, power brakes, power steering, 100 inch wheel base. It was stated by Motor Trend magazine “The most innovative of all U.S. small cars.” The paint has a few minor flaws here and there but nothing major and shows very well. The chrome shines up well. The seats are in good shape and covered with the basketry fabric print.
